← GeographyWhich consequence results when thermal expansion of seawater?
A)Reduced albedo effect on continents
B)Increased storm surge risk locally✓
C)Strengthened thermohaline circulation globally
D)Decreased ocean heat transport overall
💡 Explanation
Increased storm surges will result. Because thermal expansion increases sea levels, therefore coastal flooding during storm events becomes exacerbated. This is rather than reduced albedo; the change in reflectivity effect doesn't have sea-level as a central mechanism.
